Shoo fly

This fly was annoying me while I ate lunch, so I was happy to hear a more panicked "bzzz" when it got caught in the web above my head. 

At one point the winged pest got free, but I grabbed it off the floor and threw it back in the web. 

Then the "bzzz" changed pitch, sounding resigned to its fate and I felt a little bit sad. 

Only a little bit.

Black House Spider


Leeton huntsman

This only the third huntsman I've seen in Leeton.

The first was one that emerged from our car after a trip to Pindari, which is near Marrar and that's a Wiradjuri word for a big spider.

Maybe it's an introduced species in our household?

Marrar huntsman spider

On this blog are various photos of large huntsman spiders and most were shot at Brucedale.

I was interested to learn this year that the name of the nearby town of Marrar comes from the Wiradjuri word for a large spider.
